Great bar with really good food, the burgers are where it's at, but the pizza is also good. Staff was super friendly and easy going. Highly recommend for a night on the town.

The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced with deals all through the week. Wednesday trivia is fun and with interesting questions! Monica is a great bartender, friendly and accommodating.

The bartenders were diligent, drinks were tasty, and there's a pizza shop in the same building! You can bring your drink anywhere in the building! The bouncers were very nice and super helpful. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good night

Always enjoy myself at Dragonfly! Tuesday trivia is always a blast and packs the place. Plus it is free to play trivia. Weekends they have great deals on really good pizza. The perfect place to stop for a slice before, during or after a night out. Plus the outside seating area is a great place to hang out during the summer. Edit: Weird experience recently. Was at the bar around 1:30 and they did last call but then 10 minutes later security was kicking everyone out of the bar (out into 15 weather). Not sure if this is normal practice but would have liked to stay inside the warm bar until 2 AM while waiting for my ride instead of out in the cold. Bumped my service rating down, but still overall love this place as a summer bar.
